The Marvel Universe has delivered numerous films over the past 10 years. The fan base that loved the comic books now loves the films and for people who never read the comics, they love the movies. There is something really special about all these films that are closely tied together within the Marvel Universe. We know this because it has succeeded in surviving 10 years and grossed billions of dollars around the world.

Anyone who takes a close look at these films will notice that there have been some changes throughout. Some characters have become recast through the years while others have changed their appearance. And for those actors whose characters didn’t change much, the actors have changed a little. All changes do come with time and sometimes people need to have these changes pointed out to them.

If you are someone who isn’t aware that there have been changes in the characters and actors of the Marvel Universe then you have come to the right place. We are going to take you through some character changes from their first appearance in the Marvel Universe up until the recent Avengers: Infinity War. Below is a list of 16 characters who have changed since their first appearance in the MCU.
